What are the musical features of the blues?
I-IV-V chord progressions.
Pentatonic scale with the blue notes added. The blue note is the 4th note of the major scale raised a semi-tone e.g. in A major scale it is D sharp.
There are a lot of embellishments in lead guitar e.g. bends, slides, hammer ons, puller offs, vibrato.
Also 12 bar blues is good. I love to turn around, when playing my twelve bar chi chi cha. Oh yah. That's blues there. I love da blues. But da blues makes me blue.
Also say "I woke up this morning" for that real blues sound.
